Introduction
In this slide show it will show you how Californian prisons are ran and what happens in prison.
This slideshow was put together by a group of 6 individuals so there will be a lot of information provided.
Provided at the end of the slideshow will be a reference page to where if you would like more information on anything you will be able to look it up.
Only thing left to do now is sit back, enjoy, and take notes

Ethic Disparity and Discrimination in
Corrections
When you take a look at the total dynamics of the prison system whites make up the majority, and the rest make up the minority population. That’s why it is very important that the staff and inmates are assured there are no issues of racial disparity in treatment.
The employees of the prison should establish thorough groups of people to identify unwarranted disparities. Once they have been identified they can be addressed.
Some things that can be focused on are:
•
Assessment of a inmates mental health needs
•
Knowledge, information, and access to work release programs
•
What services are available in their community upon release
• In the facility programs should be developed to reduce racial tensions between inmates and staff

Ethic Disparity and Discrimination in
Corrections
Once in place these tools should be evaluated on a regular basis. In the facility there should be minority staff that understands the inmate’s needs.
In most of California’s prisons they are over-crowded. The inmates are on lockdown a lot, and are usually confined by race. Even on lock-down gang fights exist among the different racial and ethnic groups.
When you have white on white’s fighting that is not a big issue, however when it’s white’s against blacks then you have a huge
problem.
